Condolences to the Islamic Center of San Diego
The Vista Buddhist Temple extends our deepest condolences to the community of the Islamic Center of San Diego and to all those affected by the tragic events of May 18, 2026.
As Jodo Shinshu Buddhists, our practice is one of wisdom and compassion, with a focused awareness on our interconnected nature - what impacts one part of our community impacts us all.
We offer our sincerest sympathies to the families of those whose lives were lost, the Islamic Center, and to our Muslim neighbors in San Diego, with whom we stand in solidarity.
